German Federal Court to Rule on Legality of Pro-Palestinian Slogan

A Berlin court's conviction of a woman for using a slogan linked to Hamas has prompted an appeal to Germany's highest court.

The slogan 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' is under legal scrutiny in Germany for its alleged ties to Hamas.
A 42-year-old woman was convicted by a Berlin court for posting the slogan on Instagram, deemed a symbol of a terrorist organization.
The woman received a €1,300 fine, but her defense has appealed the decision to the Bundesgerichtshof, Germany's Federal Court of Justice.
The slogan is interpreted as advocating for a free Palestine over the current territory of Israel, a stance associated with Hamas.
This case marks the first time a German court has ruled the slogan as using terrorist symbols, highlighting differing legal interpretations.
